the florida democratic party has filed a request for a temporary restraining order against the florida secretary of state and three county election supervisors. they want an order saying it's okay to allow absentee voting to continue today because the lines in south florida were so incredibly long yesterday, which was supposed to be the last day of early voting. but here's the thing. democratic sources tell us that several counties, we don't know how many, including palm beach, hillsborough, orange, leon along with miami-dade and broward, already saying they're allowing absentee voting right now. so it looks like they're basically trying to get the court to go along with them in what looks like a work-around. the problem is the state legislature also revealed a number of early voting days and the secretary of state has already refused to extend them. so it could be a fight. >> oh, my goodness, this is two days before election day so it's already getting kind of hairy. thank you so much, joe johns. >>> we're expecting mitt romney to speak in cleveland any minute now. i'll bring that to
